Blackthorn eating spoon #3

Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This elegant blackthorn spoon has plenty of gorgeous heartwood shading to a deep ruddy brown.
Blackthorn eating spoon #17
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This blackthorn spoon has a symmertic bowl making suitable for left or right handers. It’s an exceptionally beautiful piece of blackthorn heartwood with lots of lovely dark red tones in handle as well as the bowl. Note that over time the red will most likely fade to a dark brown but it’ll still be gorgeous. Blackthorn is prunus family like plum and damson and shares the same exceptional colours. It usually grows as a prickly shrub on scrub land and in hedges and it’s rare to get large enough pieces to carve like this entirely from the heartwood. This was from Llangrannog in west Wales where an overgrown lane side was cleared back to allow traffic to pass more easily.
Cherry wood eating spoon #1
Length: 17cm (6 1/2 inches)
Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 7cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This eating spoon is unusual for me having a slightly asymetrical bowl making it a right handed spoon. Cherry like this with some dark growth rings doesn’t come along very often.
Wild plum eating spoon #8
Length: 17.5cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This light coloured bullace or wild plum spoon has darker heartwood on one side and distinctive speckling through the bowl. The wood is very hard and durable, it’s going to be a joy to eat with. It’s a bit cheaper as it’s an old spoon that turned up recently when I tidied my workshop.
Spalted blackthorn eating spoon #20
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 6.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This big bold spalted blackthorn spoon eating has a symmertic bowl making suitable for left or right handers. It’s an exceptionally beautiful piece of blackthorn heartwoodwith dark patterns of fungal growth. However the wood is sound and the spalting has gone just far enouh for colour but not enough to soften the wood at all. The handle profile is narrower where you hold and wider at the end, that way it sits vewry sweetly in the hand.

This was from Llangrannog in west Wales where I found it in a woodland having been cut down as much as a year earlier.
Elm crook eating spoon #6
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.2cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This elm spoon was made from a crook, a bent section of the branch, so the grain runs through the bown. Notice how there long oval rings in the bowl rather than the circles you see on some straight grained spoons. This makes the spoon stronger and the thin, slightly narrower bowl, makes it great eating spoon for main meals like rice based dishes. The elm dries very hard and should last many years of regular use.
Blackthorn pocket spoon #1
Length: 15cm (6 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
The bowl of this spoon has a fantastic bold heartwood grain pattern in striking contrast to the paler handle. This wood is very hard and the bowl is silky smooth so it should eat like a dream.
Plum round bowl spoon #1
Length: 17cm (6 3/4 inches)
Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 5.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This spoon has a pronounced crank and a shallow round bowl with a flat rim. It’s a general purpose eating spoon and not a deep bowl soup spoon like traditional round spoons, although you could eat soup with it of course. Plum is very hard and durable.
